Zoltan is dying. His devoted but long-suffering sons, Ben and Frank, are trying to prepare themselves and their families for his eventual departure... but they can't quite bring themselves to believe that the end is really at hand, and neither can Zoltan himself. But as he faces the end of his life, he discovers a heartbreaking secret from the War that will ultimately bring the family together - or irrevocably disrupt it. Set in both mid-20th century Hungary and contemporary Toronto, this is a deeply moving novel that revels in the energy of its extraordinary characters.
